Summary/Abstract: In the present work, we proposed to deepen, based on sources, the information regarding the approach of some personalities regarding the organization and management of physical education activities, especially in the school environment, in the second half of the 19th century, starting from the context of previous contributions. Among them, we should mention Gheorghe Moceanu, the Transylvanian whom V. A. Urechia will pinch him and help him move to the Kingdom, where he became an active militant for the introduction of physical education in schools, following the model of the German gymnastics system, Dimitrie Ionescu, the gymnastics teacher at the “Gheorghe Lazăr” High School in Bucharest, a member of the commission that will establish the first official state program: “The general and analytical program of gymnastics instruction in primary and normal schools of both sexes” and, last but not least, Spiru Haret, who, as Minister of Public Instruction, reorganized the entire system of education, paying great attention to establishing the program and improving the content of teaching gymnastics.
